Ich liebe die Spanisch-Stunden mit Ixchel! Ihr Unterricht ist sehr gut strukturiert. Aber sie bringt auch oft spontan neues Material in die Stunde (Videos, Bilder, Lieder). Sie ist sehr feinfühlig und kann während des Unterrichts spontan switchen und ein anderes Thema besprechen, weil das gerade besser zur Stunde passt. Heute ließ sie Grammatik Grammatik sein und zauberte ein wunderschönes spanisches Lied aus dem Hut, weil das einfach besser passte. Ixchel ist immer sehr gut vorbereitet, hat Materialien in vielerlei Formen für jede Gelegenheit und jedes Level. Dadurch ist der Unterricht immer sehr abwechslungsreich. Ixchel ist eine liebenswerte, geduldige und motivierende Lehrerin, die es extrem gut versteht, auf Stärken und Schwächen der Schüler einzugehen.
